The new policies were requested by board president Maricela Cruz who has had heated arguments with fellow board member Meredith Ibarra. They sparred again at Wednesday night's meeting, where the board discussed a policy which limits a board member’s comments on any agenda item to just five minutes.

Currently there is no time limit.

“In order for us to be able to conduct business and to be open to the public and not have this show or this reality show at the board meetings because that’s not what it’s supposed to be so we are trying to set an example for our kids,” said Cruz.

Cruz singled out Ibarra who she says repeatedly rambles on during meetings, and in two incidents, had to have her mic turned off by Maricela Cruz.

Another policy would address board members who don’t conduct themselves appropriately in the meeting and are disrespectful to colleagues and public speakers.

That policy would allow the board to remove a disruptive board member from the desk.

Students who returned Tuesday to a California high school where a popular photography teacher hanged herself found the classroom locked and a picture of the smiling brunette by the front door with notes and flowers.
